Helping is something that must be done, but the question is how to help.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity looked at Wei Chen; without needing to ask, Wei Chen already knew what they wanted to hear.
Wei Chen said, "When the people from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect make their move, I will have my people assist. In no time, we can destroy the statue. However, we must not let the Golden Clan know it was us. At least in the early stages of dealing with the Bloodshed Shop, we cannot let the Golden Clan find out. Therefore, that person must be a stranger from the Endless Divine Realm, and during the initial confrontation with the Bloodshed Shop, he should not appear or show his face."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity nodded in agreement; they thought it was about right.
They speculated that Wei Chen's arrangement was to establish a connection with the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect. Otherwise, they could have simply destroyed the kneeling statue of the Xiaoxiang Sword God and left immediately. But since they would eventually need to contact the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, it would be beneficial to take this opportunity to connect early.
At the very least, some information about the Bloodshed Shop could be obtained from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect.
For three consecutive days, Wei Chen and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity stayed at Tong Inn without going out. The accommodation fees were high, but they could afford it. However, such a monotonous life was becoming dull.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity suggested, "Master, waiting here like this isn't very effective. Why don't we go out for a stroll? We don't need to keep an eye on the statue of the Xiaoxiang Sword God; we could try our luck elsewhere."
"That sounds good." Wei Chen squinted his eyes and nodded in agreement.
"But if we just go out like this, won't it attract too much attention? The nights in Golden City are empty; if the three of us go out, we'll likely be questioned," said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity replied, "We can conceal our presence and be more cautious; it should be fine."
"Don't worry; when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will cover it. Waiting here indefinitely isn't a solution," Wei Chen decided firmly, and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had nothing more to say.
The three of them swaggered out of Tong Inn and quickly moved to a distance. After several flashes, they landed on top of a house and crouched down.
"Without a target or direction, we can only wait idly," Wei Chen said helplessly.
"Ying Qin Supreme Deity" whispered, "But it's better than waiting for opportunities at the Tong Inn. Here, the chances are much greater. That Tong Inn is quite sinister; my Mental Strength is cut off, and I can't sense anything beyond a few hundred meters."
"Yes, the Tong Inn is formidable, filled with formations and restrictions that ensure safety. My Mental Strength is useless inside the Tong Inn," "Wei Chen" replied.
"Master, how far can your Mental Strength extend here?" "Ying Qin Supreme Deity" asked.
"We're looking at about ten miles, I suppose. If it's too far, it becomes easy to be detected. If we disregard the risk of being discovered, I could cover the entire Golden City," "Wei Chen" explained.
"How about we split up into a triangular formation, each monitoring a different area? That way, we can cover more ground," "Ying Qin Supreme Deity" suggested.
"Let's stick to our current plan," "Wei Chen" said after some thought, shaking his head. "While spreading out would allow us to monitor more areas, it also increases the risk of being picked off one by one. We are in unfamiliar territory and are outnumbered; we need to be cautious."
"Wei Chen" considered everything carefully; he preferred to spend time waiting rather than risk being discovered. Especially by the Golden Clan, who might mistake them for Brutes and attempt to surround and eliminate them.
Within a ten-mile radius enveloped by "Wei Chen's" Mental Strength, he could sense any movement or disturbance.
Of course, if someone were stronger than him, he wouldn't be able to detect them.
The three of them settled into their hiding spots, quietly waiting.
With his eyes closed, "Wei Chen" surveyed everything within that ten-mile range in his Sea of Consciousness. The presence of cultivators stood out like bright stars on a dark map.
Suddenly, "Wei Chen" noticed several bright spots emerging from various corners and quickly converging together.
He opened his eyes wide and whispered urgently, "Something's happening. Let's go!"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity followed Wei Chen as they flew toward the northeast.
In just a few breaths, the three arrived above a courtyard. They restrained their auras and employed a Concealment Technique, making it difficult to be detected in the darkness.
Inside the courtyard, six men in black, carrying long swords, huddled together.
“Senior Brother, there are ambushes everywhere lately. It’s best not to act rashly. Let’s wait for the elders to give orders before we take action.”
“It’s fine. As long as we don’t go near Golden City Square, we can find some Royal Family lackeys to kill.”
“Royal Lackeys?”
“Exactly. Previously, we only targeted the military and the Royal Family, but we didn’t touch those officials. I’ve found out that there’s a Yamen about seven miles to the west, which is also a direct department under the Royal Family. Our target tonight is that Yamen; we’ll eliminate everyone inside except for the old, weak, sick, and women.”
“Senior Brother, what’s their strength like?”
“Very weak; there are no individuals above Seventh-Level Deity.”
“That’s good. While we’re in the Golden Clan Secret Realm, it’s not about how many people we can kill but about creating chaos to keep the Golden Clan on edge.”
“As outsiders in a foreign land, we must be cautious. The elders are busy planning to destroy the kneeling statues and have no time to pay attention to us.”
“The shameless Golden Clan! No matter what our ancestor, Xiaoxiang Sword God, did, they lack even the most basic sense of dignity.”
"Dignity? Ha! Don’t talk about dignity with the Golden Clan; they are the most arrogant and selfish clan anywhere."
The six individuals engaged in discussion for a while before leaping over the courtyard wall and heading westward.
"Master, I just realized that if we can find the people from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect and the Golden Clan this way, wouldn't they send highly skilled individuals with Mental Strength to lie in wait?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked through a transmission.
Wei Chen frowned; Ying Qin Supreme Deity's point was not without merit!
They turned to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, seeking an explanation.
"The Golden Clan possesses formidable combat strength and robust physical qualities, making them resistant to ordinary blades and swords. This is due to the protective charm granted by their Metal Divine Power. However, with gains come losses; the Golden Clan's Mental Strength is quite weak, and they cannot allocate many personnel. Even their clan leader barely reaches the Twelfth Level Divine Realm in Mental Strength, and their efficiency is poor. A typical Tenth Level Deity might only have a Mental Strength equivalent to that of an Eighth Level Divine Realm. Their control and utilization of Mental Strength are lacking. Otherwise, those from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect would have perished long ago."
"That's good to know," Ying Qin Supreme Deity nodded in relief.
The three quietly followed the six black-clad individuals from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect until they arrived at the Yamen.
The so-called Yamen was merely a place to help local citizens mediate disputes, but it was biased towards whoever had more money or power. In this world, the weak had no right to demand fairness. To achieve fairness, one could only rely on their own strength.
This was true everywhere; how much dignity could the lowest class of people possess? Perhaps during ordinary times, they could manage to live and work in peace, but once they offended the powerful or were bullied by them, they could only brace themselves against it.
In short, do not expect fairness; that is a concept from children's fairy tales.
The six black-clad individuals stealthily entered the Yamen, silently killing two guards at the entrance and then dispatching two patrolling soldiers.
Just as Wei Chen and his companions felt that their actions were going smoothly towards success, suddenly, a formation rose up, enveloping the entire Yamen in brilliant light!
Hundreds of soldiers surged out from all directions, while dozens of Golden Armored Generals spread out to encircle the six black-clad members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect completely.
"All my careful investigations were not in vain; you finally couldn't hold back any longer," a Golden Armored General said, looking at the figures in black with a smug expression. After a long period of surveillance, he had noticed the presence of strangers nearby, so he set up formations and gathered troops, thinking he could wait for three months or even half a year. It wouldn't be too much trouble; as long as he captured someone from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, it would be a great achievement!
And indeed, he had waited for this moment!
"Kill them!"
With a sweeping motion of his hand, the Golden Armored General commanded his soldiers to charge wildly at the members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect. Their comrades had died in droves, and their hatred for these people fueled their courage and fearlessness.
In the Golden Clan Secret Realm, even the lowest-ranked soldiers were at the First-Level Divine Realm. Being part of the army was a symbol of honor and status. The soldiers here were no slouches; they were all at the Third-Level Divine Realm. The Golden Armored Generals themselves were at the Seventh-Level Divine Realm!
On the other hand, among the six black-clad members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, only two were at the Seventh-Level Divine Realm, while the other four were at the Sixth-Level Divine Realm.
The situation was dire.
However, true to their training, the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect members remained calm under pressure. They formed a six-star formation, each guarding a position as sword energy surged with Divine Power, cutting down Golden Clan soldiers.
The Golden Armored Generals were not in a hurry; they let their soldiers wear down the enemy before making their move to easily secure victory.
Soldiers were always at the forefront, engaging in attrition warfare.
"Master, should we intervene?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked Wei Chen.
Wei Chen shook his head. "Let's wait. Once the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect members can no longer hold on, we will step in. That way, they will appreciate our help."
Ying Qin Supreme Deity pouted and helplessly gave Wei Chen a thumbs-up. The sect leader was indeed impressive; whether in strength or cunning strategy, he was remarkable.
The battle quickly reached its conclusion, with the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect outnumbered and in grave danger. They had slain dozens of soldiers but found themselves surrounded even more fiercely. The sky above was blocked by formations, preventing any escape; they could only fight to the death.
The Golden Armored Generals, seeing that their resources were nearly depleted, each drew their weapons and infused them with Metal Divine Power, charging toward the six members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect.
In just a few exchanges, the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect members could not withstand the onslaught and began to suffer injuries.
"Let's make our move," Wei Chen said lightly to Ying Qin Supreme Deity and Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. In an instant, he vanished from his spot and reappeared before the members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect. A powerful Stellar Power manifested into a sword, sweeping through the ranks!
Four Golden Armored Generals were instantly slain by Wei Chen.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity and Supreme Deity of Southern Ming each employed their techniques, and in no time, half of the Golden Clan within Yamen lay dead or wounded.
They did not truly intend to kill; according to Wei Chen's plan, they easily dispatched the Golden Clan members. The six from Xiaoxiang Sword Sect would not feel too grateful towards them unless they displayed some hardship. Only then would the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect members genuinely appreciate their help.
However, concerned about reinforcements from the Golden Clan, they did not linger. Within a few breaths, all of the Golden Clan in Yamen had met their end.
The six members of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect had prepared themselves for a noble death but were overjoyed when unexpected reinforcements arrived.
"Thank you for saving us, esteemed seniors!" The six knelt down in unison.
"Let's go quickly; this place is not safe," Wei Chen replied with a smile. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of Stellar Power that shattered the formation. The members of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect expressed their gratitude with clasped fists before scattering like birds and beasts.
